Fonts are under copyright unless you know otherwise.

If we're to provide downloadable fonts to readers, they'll need to be
freely licensed for distribution and use. (Note that many fonts you
might download off random web sites may be restricted -- 'shareware' or
non-commercial use or otherwise.)

There are many free font projects out there, though I don't know how
good the coverage for some languages is.
